Twitter Tool You Need: Slipstream

My new favorite toy for Twitter is one that you have to wonder why THEY didn't create- seriously this time.

Slipstream gives me a reason to use the "NEW" Twitter interface as it only works in it right now.

It will even let you determine where to block it. You can pick your lists, your home feed, you name it!

So far, oneforty only has one review and it is neutral if not positive.

You can find it in the Chrome Web Store and it was an easy download! The reviews there are positive as well!

Only bands and their most ardent fans go there. The rest are on Facebook. There is talk of selling Myspace, but who in their right mind would consider it? This will have some interesting implications for bands down the road. Many use Myspace as their de facto website, just pushing their domain name onto the customizable site. Now apparently, Reverbnation , a North Carolin

Being a Parent

While back, I wrote a post on Father's day about being a father and how being a parent is a job. I wistfully look back as I look forward to another school year quickly approaching and the evidence of my "work" is becoming less and less my handiwork. Our youngest has just moved on to middle school. Josh has moved into high school and the oldest has graduated from high school and about "start" her life. We've had a tacit arrangement with the kids. We do NOT want boomerang kids coming back to haunt us. So they have always been told, they are staying with us until they are REALLY ready to go out and that includes the joke that college has become. Sadly, despite the fact that I have spent a good chunk of my career working in higher education, I know that it is a folly to think that sending a child off to college is preparing them for much other than to have a lifetime of loans. Thankfully, Amanda has gotten the message. She has a plan to go to local c
